Modern children are accustomed to technology. Some even call them the “push-button generation," bearing in mind that the habit of pressing buttons is now formed from a very young age. As a result, the child thinks differently, otherwise perceives the surrounding reality and school subjects.
Many games, puzzles and puzzles, which were easily solved by children several decades ago, now cause difficulties. Children's hobbies, relevant in the middle of the 20th century or even at the end of it, are now not understood by children. Even cartoons they watch others.
The eternal puzzle
One of the few funs that have not lost their appeal is the game labyrinths.
Labyrinth - one of the oldest puzzles of mankind. The first labyrinth was built according to legend in order to hide the minotaur from others. Since then they have been built in many parks and gardens.
Labyrinths for children are attractive and interesting in any form.
It is interesting to navigate through the maze of a fairy-tale hero using a pen. With such tasks, many educational and entertaining books are sold. Maze games for children are very useful. They simultaneously develop several qualities that will be needed for study. This is memory, and mindfulness, and anticipation of the consequences of their actions. To go through a decent labyrinth, you will have to show perseverance and patience. These qualities in school are very important.
After all, there are also labyrinths with small balls, which must be brought to the right place with the correct tilt of the toy. Board games based on intricate paths and roads are in constant demand.
There are fans to sit with the puzzle in a quiet place. Labyrinths for children with communication problems - an opportunity to relax and rest.
But such a concept as a labyrinth exists not only on paper. They are installed in some parks - as an attraction. Of course, this is not a test of survival, as in the famous Harry Potter book, but simple labyrinths for children made from boards or low shrubs.
There is another modification. These are special game labyrinths, which are also called soft playgrounds. Usually in a confined space of such a platform there is a pool with balls, small slides, stairs and swings. You need to buy a ticket to such a soft platform and you can climb there for half an hour or an hour.
What are the attractive mazes for children?
First of all, any labyrinth is a game of space. A person gets confused in him because he sees the same passage or corridor differently in different situations. And since children are aware of the space around them, experiment with it, for them it is very important. Especially such spatial experiments are needed for boys.
They learn to
navigate the terrain, develop areas of the brain that are responsible for this. In boys, the ability to navigate is laid genetically in the same way as in girls the ability to communicate with babies.
Among the many modern entertainments, the labyrinths are perhaps the only ones that benefit.
Labyrinths are offered to small children, in notebooks and toys they are present in the life of a baby from the age of three. Labyrinths are used to prepare for school and for relaxation in adulthood. Truly, this is an eternal puzzle!
